Sawyer

Sawyer Gursky is a Human from Mushtullo who, at 24 (Solar) years old, decides moves to the Exodus Fleet to try and make a new home. He has trouble finding his place in the traditional, tight-knit community.

Early Life
Sawyer's ancestors were of the Arvelo family aboard the Al-Qaum, a homesteader in the Exodus Fleet. They left the Fleet shortly after contact, the first meeting between Exodans and non-Human sapients.

Approximately 13 standards before the events of Record of a Spaceborn Few, the Human district on Mushtullo was plagued by an outbreak of saltlick fever. Sawyer lost his entire family and bounced around in foster care until adulthood.

Record of a Spaceborn Few
After getting fired from his factory job on Mushtullo and coming across an impromptu vigil for the Oxomoco disaster, he becomes interested in the Fleet and eventually decides to move there. His search for a job leads him to join a less-than-legal scavenging crew. Opening a sealed door in the wreck of the Oxomoco causes Sawyer to smash into a bulkhead, killing him. The scavengers hide his body, which is eventually interred by Eyas, Isabel, Tamsin, and Kip.
